Willy Monigatti was a Swiss footballer who played for FC Basel. He played as midfielder.
Monigatti joined Basel's first team during their 1944–45 season under team manager Max Barras. After appearing in two test games Monigatti played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 29 October 1944 as Basel were defeated 0–2 by Servette.[1] He scored his first goal for his club on 25 March 1945 in the home game at the Landhof as Basel played a 4–4 draw with Lugano.[2] Basel suffered relegation that season.
